I really like this tree fabric, it is something that would catch my eye in a fabric store.

Like that tree fabric, LAF.
I have decided to do two sets while I'm at it, so here is the second set of fabric. The first is what most of you will get... the tan leaves. I'm asking for white to be used with it. Three of you will get the second fabric instead, with the lions on it. I'm asking for dark navy blue to be used with that. Hope you have fun with these!
I love both of these fabrics. especially the lions

Will really have to think about what to do with it if I get it. LAF, the tree fabric is another one to challenge me but I already have an idea. The colors in it are lovely.
Terriamn, safe travels today and tomorrow. Hope the trip won’t be too hard on you. It’ll be wonderful to fall into your own bed tomorrow night.
Just found out a dear friend had a fall yesterday and may have a head injury. She was texting our little group last night but she stopped mid-stream. We’re all worried about her. Hope to hear something soon.
Did some yard cleanup yesterday and it kicked my you know what. Not used to all that bending and stretching and lifting. It’s past time for me to get back into yoga. Of course I’ve been telling myself this for a couple of years. Walking just isn’t enough.
Enjoy your day.
edited to add that two more packages are scheduled to arrive today. I’ll start sorting fabrics this weekend. Always so much fun!
Prayers for your friend. Speaking of starting yoga, I started Zumba again after 2 years of being away. I pulled a muscle in my stomach. I still felt good after the class.

He then said once we both retire, he wanted to help like Dad did and even sew some blocks. Now we have the Queen Mary of Stashes or whatever cruise ship is outlandish. We stopped at Marshall's Dry Goids in Batesville, Arkansas (if you know, you know, if not, check them out) last fall and whoop, a full shopping cart later (wholesale prices to everyone with bulk flat fold purchases) my ridiculous hubby actually asked where the other cart was! So needless to say, since we both are fully retired and hopefully all surgeries are over, the quilting mojo juices are being kick started with this Boom. Our son that is our executor, already knows the size of it and wishes we live long abd quilt alot.
Your story made me laugh out loud. My daughter tells me all the time I need to quilt faster because she is the one that will have to go through my sewing room when all is said and done.
My package was mailed on Thursday. Hope it has safe travels.
